They wanted to spot OSU a lead. The comeback victory will look a lot better than just pounding OSU. It's all good.
Neb/OSU
- Thread starter bigfridaynite
- Start date
Ohio State is up 35-0
The are throwing down field and running a fast paced offense. Lesson for Kirk, that is called not taking your foot off the gas and giving a team the knockout punch.

I was banned last year. There might not be many of us left who have not been banned.
Urban might of slow the O down but since Neb scored they might keep racking up points and score 70.
They came close-ish to making OSU to getting to a third down that time. The term "blackshirts" refers to the death of the Cornhusker defense
Am I reading this correctly? OSU has scored on every drive?
Why is Barrett still in the game?

Wow, I didn't know that KF was coaching at OSU now. So how much of his salary are they paying?
Actually they scored a TD on every drive.
Not on their ninth drive. Nebraska D slammed that door shut!
Ohio State rolled up 633 total yards and had 41 first downs while scoring the most points by a Nebraska conference opponent in Lincoln and most overall by any opponent here since Minnesota won 61-7 in 1945 when the Huskers were in the Big Six.
It was Ohio State's second straight lopsided win over the Huskers. The Buckeyes won 62-3 in Columbus last year.
Ohio State went into the game as a 24-point favorite -- Nebraska hadn't been a bigger underdog at home since 1957 -- and was up 35-0 at halftime. A trickle of fans headed for the exits when it was 21-0, and many more were gone by the start of the second half in what undoubtedly was a referendum on Riley and his staff. The stadium was less than a quarter full early in the fourth quarter.
When the Huskers picked up their second first down of the game late in the second quarter, fans gave them a sarcastic cheer and many let go of their red balloons. Those balloons traditionally are launched when Nebraska scores its first touchdown. That didn't come until the third quarter, after it was 42-0, when Tanner Lee and JD Spielman hooked up for a 77-yard catch-and-run.

Well, at least it still goes down as a sellout!
Urban needs to make impression in the polls to get OSU back in the playoff. Urban is many things, and cold is one of them. If he has a chance to score points and make a statement, he will.
I've never heard of 41 first downs. They almost had more first downs than debbie had rushing yards.
Well, at least it still goes down as a sellout!
it would be interesting to know if corporations and boosters buy up extra tickets to ensure sell outs
The last 2 times Nebby and OSU played:
* OSU did not punt.
* OSU outscored them 118-17
Very true. I don’t bet a lot but Meyer has a pretty good track record of being able to cover huge spreads. He has no problem embarrassing other teams.
Hawk fans don't want to forget we do play Wisconsin and OSU this year too. Plus Neb. So we probably should be careful on what we say.
The Nebraska "sellout" if one of the biggest frauds in college football. And their fanbase knows it.Well, at least it still goes down as a sellout!
I think Iowa will fair better than Nebraska while playing Wisky and tOSU. Concerning Nebraska, Iowa will beat the crap out of them in the trenches again this year.
